After a nice breakfast we got ready to walk into Hoi An. And then such a coincidence....my brother facetimed us, which was great. We haven't talked to him since we left. Then as we were chatting with him our friends from Florida facetimed us at the same time. Also hadn't talked to them. Weird 😉 The weather was cloudy and windy. The walk into Hoi An was interesting...it took us about an hour. On the way we saw.... live crabs with pincers wrapped in reeds ladies selling flowers a lady selling chickens and a hut with a Vietnamese communist flag fishing weirs some type of eggs for sale and lots of rice fields Once a major Southeast Asian trading post in the 16th and 17th centuries, the seaside town Hoi An is basically a living museum featuring a unique mixture of East and West in the form of its old-town architecture. Hoi An is a popular tourist spot...know for it's small town feel. The ancient downtown area is a World Heritage Site. We are staying at a homestay at Ang Bang beach, which is the famous Hoi An beach. Hoi An This is soooo true  When we got back we decided to go for dinner at a restaurant close by that was recommended by trip advisor. The waitress really messed up the order and brought the wrong food twice.She had trouble with English and even though we pointed to what we wanted she still didn't get it right. Ron wanted a Vietnamese sandwich which comes on a baguette. After her second attempt at bringing us something we hadn't ordered, one of the other waitresses said they didn't have baguettes. And sadly the name of the restaurant is The French Bakery....lol. However they did send us home with two dry "sort of muffins" which were complimentary 😬 And at the same dinner there was vodka on the menu. We ordered it and assumed it would come with tonic, juice or something. Here is what we got...no ice, no mix, no lemon...nothing. But it only cost $2 each...😃 Luckily our homestay was close by. Poor Ron is still suffering from a cold. 🤧🤧
